This week, Farzana Hoque, MD, MRCP, FACP, FRCP, joins the Faculty Factory Podcast for her first appearance, and it's a memorable discussion spanning some of the most important aspects of self-care. Dr. Hoque is an Associate Professor of Internal Medicine in the Division of Hospital Medicine and the Co-Director of the Medicine Acting Internship at the Saint Louis University School of Medicine. She also serves as the inaugural Medical Director of Bordley Tower at SSM Health, Saint Louis University Hospital, and she President of the Society of Hospital Medicine's St. Louis Chapter. Dr. Hoque shares her unique journey as an international medicine graduate, a person of color in academic medicine, her experiences with promotion, lessons learned, emotional intelligence for physician leaders, and details about her vibrant and rapidly growing YouTube channel. You can visit her YouTube channel here: https://www.youtube.com/@Dr.FarzanaHoque To get in touch with Dr. Hoque: https://farzanahoquemd.com/ “People are the greatest asset. If people do not admire or trust us, we won't be able to get anywhere. People skills are the greatest skills for anyone, especially for a woman of color in academia, and really in any industry,” she told us. When it comes to emotional intelligence, a gem of advice we receive from Dr. Hoque is that it's important to take a pause, think logically, and avoid the emotions that might overtake your clear decision-making process during a challenging moment of stress.
